Very popular small shopping center with exclusive shops as well as a movie theatre, a bank and restaurants.
A play ground for children in the middle and seats make this place unique.
You can observe playing children from the fine Italian restaurant while eating excellent food.

When you are in Malibu and you would like shopping intensivly, there is only one answer
Camarillo Premium Outlets
740 E. Ventura Boulevard
Camarillo, CA 93010

You drive approximately an hour on the PCH towards west, along the many beautiful beaches and mountains until you see an overpass.
There you turn right and drive straight ahead a few kilometers through the fields until you see on the right the Camarillo Premium Outlets.
There is not a lot of traffic on the way because you are still out of Malibu.
You can drive slowly and yet you will be there quite fast.
You have to take in consideration that a day is not enough.
You need to have time.
The Camarillo Premium Outlets is separated in 3 parts ( the Promenade, Main Court and Fashion Court).
You should plan a day for each part.
You can go shopping there until you are exhausted.
It is huge and provides a lot of different brands.
If you go there from Monday until Thursday, it is not overcrowded either. It is far the best of the area and you get there very fast.
Another fact is that prices there always have a discount of 20 – 25 %. Small restaurants, snack bars and drinks dispensers give you the power for more shopping. There is also no problem taking kids with you. If you first go to Main Court and you rent a kid´s car that can be pushed, on the left right next to “Hilfiger”, your kids will be delighted.
There are, in a certain distance from each other, merry-go-rounds.
If you are paying enough 25 cent coins for a while, to keep them going, your kids won´t get bored.
Even Santa Monica, where are many shopping possibilities, too and where you can go within the same time, can neither compete with the variety of shops in one place nor with the prices.
Of course, Santa Monica is worth to visit, too.
There you can buy, not far from the beach, on the Third Street Promenade at Victoria´s Secret, underwear, sketchers and much more. You can eat well there, too.
There are also other markets on the left from Camarillo Premium Outlets such as a huge supermarket, a large DIY center, an excellent paper and office supplies market, a worth seeing sports articles and accessories market and a huge need of pet market.
There you find everything and prices are far away from being as expensive as in Malibu.
